Semba dos Ancestrais
Martinho da Vila
Dance of the Ancestors
If your body starts to tingle
If you feel your blood boiling too
If your mind starts to wander
And still you’re in a great vibe
If your heart races when you hit the ground
If you go into a trance, not tied to any faith
If you eat Fungi, Quisaca, and Mufete de Cara-pau
If Luanda fills you with emotion
If the people blow your mind
It’s because your ancestors are from there
You can believe in the spirit of your ancestors
You can believe in the spirit of your ancestors
